How see through is this? I'm planning to use it as a privacy tent for "outhouse" purposes. Also, is there a zipper to close the curtains?

We used the tents as changing rooms for a dress show and they worked fine. One could not see through the material. However, we used the tents inside so not certain if the sunshine would make a difference. I doubt it. As I recall, the tent opening had a tie and a zipper.

It is a little see through when the light hits it just right. All in all its really not that bad. We just put it in the shade and it works wonderful for us. It does have a zipper to close it tight. It is pretty light so not really that great for winds.We use ours for changing in swimsuits for our backyard and suits our needs perfect.

With any tent if you have a light inside and it is dark outside, everyone can see the outline of what you do. So if it is dark, do not turn on a light inside.

It's a great tent! There is a zipper. It only has a slight amount of see through when it's in the sun.

Yes there is a zipper and I've had no problems, I use it outside for changing before and after swim. Hope this was helpful

It is not see-through although I did read one review that said it was. There is a full length zipper to close it entirely.

There is a zipper. It closes easily and there are ties on each side when you want to leave it open. It isn't 100% see-through, however, if light hits it at a certain angle you'll be able to distinctly see silhouettes through it. I took some white cotton fabric and sewed it to the main portion on the inside. That helped with the transparency and also helped give it weight so when the wind blows it will not shift as much. I searched the internet extensively and couldn't find anything similar so I had to end up buying this. For the price it wasn't a bad purchase despite my having to make a liner for it.

Im going on 3 years with mine and no issues. It is private looking in, and not sure by design but it is easy to see out while you are in. Like a one way glass. Yes there is a zipper. My only complaint is I want another one and I cant seem to find anyone selling all back ordered and also won't ship to Canada any more. Good luck.

You could not see through though note-our tent was in the shade. We used as changing room for bride. Yes on the zipper!

There is a zipper, it is not see through, but depending on the light you will be able to see shapes of what is inside.

Actually it's clear. The film is opaque and the leaf pattern is much less so. I can't tell you how many compliments I've had on this wonderful alternative to curtains. It lets light through while you have complete privacy!

The zipper is a glorified ziplock slider. It's on the outside of the curtain, so it stays pretty dry inside regardless. I dont see any way to prevent breakage.My bigger concern was that my speakers stopped working after a month.

Yes and no. It is not intended for privacy. They make a reflective film for that. However during the day it is usually much lighter outside than inside and people can not see in. At night just the opposite is true.

Well, transparent would imply completely see-through. It's sort of semi-transluscent depending on what is behind it. I used the material to backlight a projector image through a window and you could see the image clearly on the other side. Lookingout through the window or into the house however, you couldn't see anything. If it is stretched tight over something darker than the white fabric, you may be able to see underneath.

The windows in the tent can be zipped closed or unzipped to allow air to flow. I made black screens to fit the side windows in the SUV by buying a roll of plastic screen, cutting them to fit window-1 inch larger and glueing round magnets onto the edges so you can have screens on the outside in order to have window rolled down a little to get the air flowing and the dark screen gives privacy. The front window we just put your basic sun screen on the inside for privacy.

It's kind of thin, but I wouldn't really say it was see through.. We had it over some carpet at our wedding. If you do order this I would recommend getting some double sided tape you can use on carpet.

It let's some light through, but it is not see through. If you look at the pictures I posted of this in my living room you'll see that I have it blocking the large sliding glass doors in my living room. My apartment is right next to the street so if that window is open everyone can see me. The panels also block out the ability to see behind them .. you'd only see figures in silhouette.

On the dorm closet they are not see through but you can see shapes and shadows through them, similarly it allows light through on the window but it's not see through To make them more substantial you could use an inexpensive shower curtain liner, but it worked on its own for us!

If all sides are zipped, there's virtually no light coming through. I made a "makeshift" projection screen out of an all white shower curtain and hung it on one end of the tent and watch movies on it with the mini HD projector I bought for my iphone. I bought mine for privacy here in Afghanistan, but I probably won't take it back to home due to the dust over here, but I will definately buy another bigger one when I get home.

It is actually quite covered, both the bedroom and the front entry. You have to unzip windows, etc. before it becomes just screened in.Great tent that we (2) set up in less than 30 mins.

Ok. Yes, all the windows (2) can be zippered closed. BUT THERE IS NO CLOSING THE MESH VENTILATION AREAS UNDER THE FLIES OF THE TENT. THESE ARE FAIRLY LARGE, ABOUT 2.5 feet by 1 feet high. THIS TENT DOES NOT TOTALLY CLOSE, AT LEAST THE ONE I BOUGHT FROM WALLMART -- and it is the instant 6 person dome tent, 10'x9'. The windows close yes, by zipping them closed. But the upper ventilation areas under the flies not only have any material to drape over them, they have no zippers on them. So, they cannot be closed, even when closing all the windows. This is the case in my tent, and I plan to return it because it get's 50 degrees overnight where I camp. Ok. Yes, all the windows (2) can be zippered closed.

You can't see through the curtain but it definitely needs a liner. The curtain contains silk and will water spot if saturated. Hope this helps...

Probably not the way your thinking. It's closed on all sides but the door side. The door it's self is a flap no zippers to keep everything out but so many things you can do, use duct tape, add extra bug screen, add a zipper, etc

Hello~ It is transparent so can see through it and will let light in, but I don't know how to answer your question completely. It is a very beautiful divider. I just love mine!

Yes, it zips all the way up so that you can close it completely, either from the outside of the tent or the inside, if you want to be inside of the tent for privacy.
